Well, actually the M was for Modified.  Particularly modified to work
with some more DEC peripherals.

What ran on 11/20's was Mini-Unix, which was a stripped-down 6th
Edition.  By the way I'm not sure that the PUPS archive has a Mini-Unix
tape.  I have one, although it has not been read since the days when I
had an 11/20.
